Trade Classifier

Enhance your trade operations by automating the classification process

Global trade advisory 

Why now?

Now, more than ever, trade compliance has a seat at the executive table. Companies are revisiting their trade compliance strategies in order to:

  • Comply with complex trade regulations
  • Stay up to date on an ever-changing trade environment
  • And minimize the risk of errors that can lead to penalties, under payments of duty and other negative exposures, as well as the needless overpayment of duty

That means increased pressure on importers and trade compliance departments to:

  • Accurately classify products
  • In a rapidly changing environment with resource and budget constraints along with a continuous flow of new products to classify
  • These pressures mean that resources have little time left for strategic planning and initiatives

In an era of such increasing demand on global trade compliance resources—now is the time for a new approach to trade compliance with leading-edge technologies and consistent methodologies that can decrease the need for manual effort and the risk of human error, while increasing accuracy and consistency.

A digital solution that alleviates the challenging and time-consuming classification work that many global trade functions struggle with today.
